When holiday hearts meet, love's in the bag....

Three years ago, Sarah Anderson made a terrible mistake. After one too many glasses of champagne at her best friend's wedding she woke up in bed with the best man. To make matters worse, he ran out on her and she never heard from him again. When Sarah's gifted with Christmas week at her best friend's beach house, the last person she expects to run into is the handsome heartbreaker. But it appears fate has ensured a mysterious double booking, and he was given a key to the same place. With a winter storm raging on their secluded barrier island, it seems they're both trapped there together. Will their marooned status push them even farther apart? Or heal past wounds and lead to a new start?

All Matt Salvatore wants to do is escape from the world and enjoy some surf fishing. He never dreams a beautiful blast from his past will upset his get-away plans. But it's hard to think of leaving when he recalls how it feels holding Sarah in his arms. Yet, three years before, when he'd thought they were getting close, she'd literally sent him packing. He'd nearly forgotten that heartache until he looked once again in her big, brown eyes. When they're suddenly thrown together for an unexpected beach vacation, old feelings resurface and hope reignites. But can Matt convince Sarah his feelings are real, when his resources are limited to what's at the house - and in his heart?
